Would like to know

I found out that i was positive on during a blood test. My liver enzymes are normal. How do we know if we have the virus. My infection number was 14.0 down from the first by .4. Does this make a difference. Do I need to get a quicker appointment than Dec. to see a specilist. Someone please help me

I think you are saying that you have tested positive for antibodies.
This means you have to have another test to see if you have an active infection or not.
Hepatitis C (if you have it) is very slow and a few months won't make any difference.
Your normal enzymes are a good sign.
